CSL DD in ACC too unruly?

Hi all

I am trying to set up my CSL DD (8Nm) for ACC on PC. I have imported Maurice's latest profiles and set the in game parameters mentioned in the Readme


My issue is that the wheel keep fighting me constantly. Even taking a basic turn takes heaps of strength and holding on and there is not much in terms of "controlling" the car. Even when using mid engines cars this is the case. It feels like the wheel just WANTS to self center at all costs.

Anyone here had the same issue and can shed some light?

As a comparison, iRacing felt great immediately out of the box with Maurice's CS DD+ profiles and in game settings (only change wheel force 8 Instead of 15)

  • Try these settings in game.

    Gain: 60%

    Minimum Force: 0%

    Damper: 0%

    Dynamic Damping: 100%

    Road Effects: 0%

    Frequency: 400Hz

    Steer Lock: 1080°

    Steer Linearity: 1.00

    Brake Gamma: 1.00

    Gearshift Debouncing: 50ms


    Increase the Gain in 5% increments until you are happy with the FFB strength

    If it's pulling strongly back to centre try turning SPR down in the wheel settings. I play ACC on console and have SPR set to 30.

    Hey Kerem! We totally get how frustrating it can be when the wheel isn’t behaving as expected, but don’t worry—we’ll get you sorted! The strong self-centering force you’re experiencing in ACC is likely due to a combination of high dynamic damping and too much force feedback gain. Since iRacing felt great out of the box, it sounds like the hardware is functioning correctly, and this is more of a tuning issue.

    First, double-check that your Fanatec Control Panel settings match Maurice’s recommended values, especially for force feedback intensity and damper settings. In ACC, try lowering Dynamic Damping and Road Effects to around 20-30% and reducing the Gain slightly if it feels overpowering. Also, ensure your in-game Steering Lock matches what’s set in the Fanatec Control Panel to avoid conflicts.

    Lastly, some users have found that enabling or adjusting the Natural Damper and Natural Friction settings in the Fanatec software can help smooth things out. Experiment with small tweaks and test them incrementally to find what feels best for you. Let us know how it goes—we’re happy to help fine-tune things further! Best, your Fanatec team.
